The traditional address to the nation happens in February, so as we flip the calendar to March, inquiring minds are asking when do we see the Joe Show?
The speech often runs two hours long and we wonder if Biden can stand and speak that long.
My guess is that it will not happen and they will blame fears of a domestic terror attack as previewed by the acting head of the Capitol police last week.
In the meantime….
President Trump gave a rousing state of the union address yesterday at CPAC which I am sure most of you witnessed. The big news of course is that he plans to continue his control of the Republican Party and hinted that he is considering a run in 2024.
Heads surely exploded when he uttered this line: “I may even decide to beat them a third time.”
Trump’s ability to speak without pause for hours stands in contrast to the man in the White House that 80 million Americans supposedly elected to lead the free world who can’t seem to go a few minutes without a gaff.
There were some observers who declared that former President Donald Trump‘s speech before CPAC on Sunday was actually a State of the Union address. There is some truth to that. His comments covered the state of the union, the state of unity within the Republican Party and conservatism, and the prospects for the future.
Mr. Trump’s appearance, however, occurred just as the public, media and lawmakers themselves are wondering whether President Biden will make the traditional presidential speech before a joint session of the Congress.
[….]
In historical perspective, Mr. Trump gave his first address to Congress on Feb. 28, 2017; former President Barack Obama on Feb. 24, 2009; and former President George W. Bush on Feb. 27, 2001.
So where is the 46th president in all this?
My guess is that Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman is setting up the excuse and blaming it on us, on Trumpsters: No state of the union this year because of the threat of domestic violence.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised on Feb. 11 that Mr. Biden would not be making any big speeches until “we pass our COVID relief bill.” The House did that on Saturday.
[….]
Other factors, such as the threat of the virus in close quarters, and the security challenge on Capitol Hill, have been cited as a reason for the delay.
“We know that members of the militia groups that were present on Jan. 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union,”Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told the House Appropriations Committee during an appearance Friday.
That is unheard of for a little blog like mine. However, mystery solved when a friend notified me that Sidney Powell posted the link at her Telegram account. Thanks to whoever brought it to Powell’s attention!
Washington isn’t going to save you and as excited as we are to hear what President Trump has in mind when he speaks at CPAC later today, you know your energy must be focused on your local community and to some degree at your state level.
There is not much hope in some Blue states, but it was Republican state legislatures that are really to blame for the great 2020 Election Steal as they sat by and let Democrat governors set the rules and run their elections.
The Left has been for decades and decades working to control governments at the local level, and you must now work there to try to catch up and push them back. I know in some cities that is just about hopeless, so your choice there is to leave or stay and at least be a thorn in the side of your Democrat Socialist local leadership.
You can read Parts 1 and 2 of my series on Community Organizing 101 here:
In Part 1, I talked about getting your facts on whatever issues you plan to tackle. I used refugee resettlement as an example, and in Part 2 the focus was on finding others to help and support your efforts.
In this one, Part 3, I’m nagging as I have been for over a decade and begging you to set up your own local or state website or blog. Your local paper is probably a leftwing rag even if you live in a red county!
You need to become the alternate news source!
Yes, it is great to network on Facebook, but you can’t count on how long that will last. And, you really can’t offer detailed information there or maintain an archive for new people as time goes on.
Make your conservative website a general one about your city or county, or choose a specific issue that is plaguing your area.
It is no use if you have gathered factual information and then have no way to get it out beyond your little group!
The easiest place I found initially to set up a blog was at WordPress.com, but as you know they deplatformed RRW in 2019 without notice.
I did have to find a professional to help me find a new host and to recover RRW and set up ‘Frauds and Crooks.’
If you simply think this is way beyond your abilities (I assure you it isn’t), then at least try to get letters and opinion pieces posted in your local paper. Keep it toned down with the idea of getting nuggets of factual information out to the public without getting yourself banned.
If you are trying to educate the community on the refugee program (your fear that your area will be flooded by Biden/Harris migrants), a good message is to simply raise the concern about your own local poor and suffering people—the jobless, the homeless, veterans and so forth. America hasn’t run out of poor people yet.
Another option for garnering local media attention is to attend (assuming the meetings are open in the age of COVID) local city or county commissioner meetings and be available to the press there.
If they have a public comment period, using the refugee issue as an example, ask your elected body if they plan to encourage more refugee resettlement in their jurisdiction and remind them that you have suffering Americans to care for first.
Don’t let them Alinsky you!
Assuming you have gathered a small group of likeminded patriots as I suggested in Part 2, take turns attending meetings, or take turns speaking. If only one of you becomes identified as the ring leader, the Left will pull an Alinsky on you.
They will try to take that one person down with personal attacks etc. as a way of bringing you all down.
Of course it is commonsense, but be very courteous to the print and/or TV reporter whose beat is local government, after all, your goal is to get your information out through the media filter and it will do you no good to antagonize the reporter when you are just getting started.
Ask yourself every day: What work have I done today to save us all from the Socialists’ war on my community and to help Make America Great Again?
The word has gone out! Come one and all to the US Southern Border because Biden/Harris promise they will not hold you on the Mexican side of the border like that mean old Donald Trump did for so long.
Surely you are seeing the news everywhere—oh woe the unaccompanied alien children are suffering.
Biden’s proposed refugee admissions number (125,000 for FY22) surpasses any year of Obama’s 8 years.
But, no one, even on our side of the immigration divide, tells you that the “children” are not tiny tots crying for mommy, but are mostly teenaged males.
Before I get to that, see my Round-up post yesterday at Refugee Resettlement Watchon the Biden administrations plan to bring in up to 62,500 third world refugees by October first of this year, in addition to the tens of thousands flooding in illegally.
And see that all across the country the contractors are gearing up for the new arrivals (aka new Democrat voters).
Before you even read the news about how Chairman Joe is now getting blowback from his own people because he isn’t moving fast enough on his promises to the open borders agitators, and he is incarcerating kids, see this data from the Office of Refugee Resettlementwhich is responsible for the care and feeding of the unaccompanied alien ‘children.’
In fiscal year 2020, 72% were over 15 years-old and 68% were males. Those numbers have remained steady over the years.
At another time in history these young men would have been called invaders.
Mostly teenagers:
Mostly males (and how many of those 17 year-olds are actually much older?)
Although President Joe Biden promised to end the seemingly draconian immigration policies of the previous administration and reclaim the country’s supposed reputation as a safe haven for immigrants everywhere, some supporters are enraged as he continues to expel tens of thousands of migrants, restores an unlicensed shelter for migrant children and struggles to implement policy changes without a full staff in place, reports the Washington Post.
And as former president Donald Trump dispatched his deputies to the Hill on Wednesday to lobby against Biden’s immigration overhauls, and Trump plans to blast those changes in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday, An Immigration and Customs Enforcement email obtained by The Washington Post shows that the administration has already entered crisis mode on the southern border.
Trump is reading the tea leaves, as noted by PJ Media.
Unbelievable! The Democrat socialists are more concerned about us and about white nationalism than a border invasion! Don’t expect any reaching across the aisles anytime soon, maybe not in our lifetimes!
An email from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement reports that shelters have been authorized to purchase airline tickets and cover other transportation costs for unaccompanied minors who have crossed the border and whose relatives are already living in the United States.
[….]
Since Biden’s promise not to expel any more minors, the number of minors in federal custody has more than tripled to 7,000, prompting officials to reopen an overflow shelter in Texas to house them — even though the shelter is not state-licensed, as required — until officials can place them with a parent or guardian in the United States.
Endnote: If you are on Facebook, see that I have been posting on my Refugee Resettlement Watch page there. Click here. There is lots of enthusiastic commenting going on and so I’ll stay on Facebook in order to reach thousands, at least until I get the boot.
Yesterday I postedthis newsfrom the UK Daily Mail.
AOC wants to abolish the Dept. of Homeland Security and ICE and wants us to admit thousands of ‘climate refugees’—a new category of refugee— something I have been talking about for a decade at RRW.
With the Democrats in complete control of Washington, DC, your work must now center on local organizing against policies coming down from on high, and honestly your energy should have been focused there for the last couple of decades as you know the hard core Leftists long ago set their sights on winning mayoral races and county government contests.
YOU can do what Obama taught the Left to do!
Because my request from readers came in response to a post about what one could do nowthat Biden/Harris are opening our borders and planning to admit 62,500 third world refugees, many from countries that hate us, by September 30th, I focused my first in the series post on the Refugee Admissions Program.
All of the information I am giving you is commonsense. I just hope by saying it it will inspire you to do it!
That first commonsense lesson instructed those of you who want to fight back to get your facts first. That applies to whatever issue you want to pursue locally.
By the way, one really appealing issue is to get involved in ensuring election integrity at your local election board. Or, maybe it is fighting for the Second Amendment like these folks did!
Getting ready for Chairman Joe’s refugees in Montana (your state too!)
Here is news from Missoula, Montana I will use as a case study where the refugee industry, that only got a foothold in the state a few years ago (see my extensive Montana archive at RRW), is gearing up for new arrivals.
An international group [IRC works around the world and works closely with the UN that picks the refugees–ed] helping refugees resettle in Missoula plans to expand its operations. The announcement came after news that President Joe Biden is significantly increasing the number of refugees that the U.S. allows into the country.
[….]
She [IRC staffer in Missoula] said Missoula’s IRC office currently has four full-time staff members, plus some part-time help and a few workers from programs like AmeriCorps. It is also looking to add five new full-time staff members to start. The group has resettled more than 370 people in Montana since 2016.
This could be happening where you live! Have you checked the maps I provided?
I assume you have done some homework since last week and figured out if your community/city/county is a resettlement site and who is responsible for their placement in your area.
The next step is to find kindred spirits, fellow patriots, at both the grassroots level and among local elected officials.
If possible, you need to have a friend or two on whatever your elected governing body is.
And, as for like-minded fellow citizens, find a few, both to help do the work and to give you a boost in spirits, as things are going to get rough. Do not throw up your hands if you can’t find more than a couple of people who are as concerned as you and willing to fight.
It doesn’t take dozens, it only takes a few who don’t care about the abuse you will likely receive.
I’ll use Missoula as an example. That story above aired this past week. Folks there are already doing this I hope, but what must happen is that there must be a media explosion against the idea of expanding the IRC’s office (by the way, the IRC is headquartered in New York City).
Hey, and this doesn’t just apply to Missoula, all across the state there should be attention brought to the Missoula resettlement because once they get established they will be targeting other locations in Montana especially if the idea of a Chinese meatpacking plant sees the light of day again.
Letters to the editor, and especially social media outrage should first focus on a message that some rich people from NYC want to change Montana while Montana has many Americans out of work and struggling to survive the pandemic.
Montana surely has not run out of poor people!
Blast local elected officials who will promptly tell you they can’t stop the federal government, so what, make them uncomfortable.
Also, the Biden Administration is getting rid of extreme vetting of refugees and has opened up resettlement from all Muslim majority countries, so there remains a potential for terrorists and criminals of all stripes to get in through the program.
And, don’t forget the health issues posed by refugees. They will tell you that refugees are screened for all sorts of health problems but I assure you they are getting in with latent TB and HIV and who knows what else. The cost of their medical care falls on you.
So, this week, for whatever issue around which you plan to organize locally, find like-minded citizens and elected officials to network with, to share information and to provide support.
And, if you see some news item, like the one in Missoula, be ready to speak up boldly and fearlessly. They will call you names and try to intimidate you, but do not fear their hateful words.
Ask yourself every day: What work have I done today to save us all from the Socialists’ war on my community and to help Make America Great Again?
Addendum:You might have noticed that I have a new contact form in the right hand sidebar. Yesterday someone sent me a note but gave me an incorrect e-mail address. If it was you, resubmit your correct e-mail address so I can answer your question.
After all, the Chinese Virus was the ultimate wake up call! How many warnings do we need?
Even in red Texas the government can’t save you every time! And, imagine if this was New York, New Jersey, or Illinois, the reaction would likely be more chaos and possible violence.
Deep freeze causes shortage of water as Texas staggers
If you haven’t seen my post first published in July and reposted in December, here it is. If you have already seen it, I assume you would not have been a victim of a deep freeze!
I was shocked when I saw the stats last night on yesterday’s post, part 3 on community organizing. And, this morning I see the post has been visited nearly 24,000 times.
